CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
CAUTION
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
WARNING!!
An isolation transformer should be used during any service to avoid possible
shock hazard, in case of live chassis.
NOTE: Do not modify the original design without obtaining written permission
from the manufacturer or you will void the original parts and labor warranty.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
KDL-32EX557 iv
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
;; Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with a solution of mild soap and warm water.
;; If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the instruction provided on the package.
;; Never use strong solvents such as a thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning.
;; Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is recommended to ensure proper ventilation.
;; Do Not use paper towels, any type of abrasive pad, rags, rubber or vinyl materials to clean the screen. Using these materials could easily scratch the
screen which may result in permanent damage.
;; Do Not use any cleaning product containing alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, ammonia, benzine, thinner or
insecticide. Using any of these harsh cleaners may result in permanent damage to the screen.
;; Do Not spray water or detergent directly onto the TV screen . If liquid drips into the bottom of the screen it may cause a failure.

CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
SAFETY CHECK-OUT 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM
or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety analog meters must have an accurate low voltage scale. Nearly all
checks before releasing the set to the customer: battery-operated digital multimeters that have a 2 VAC range are
suitable. (see Figure A)
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes To Exposed Metal
and bridges. Parts on Set
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all Trouble Light
exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, AC Outlet Box
must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be
measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester.
Follow the manufacturers’ instructions provided with the tester.
